925 Their family runs a Yamen
Uncle Gu couldnt hide it. Looking at his parents serious faces, he couldnt help but say, Father, mother, can we slow down? Take it slow, then show me your horses might and tell me to be good and not cause trouble. Wait until Im used to the capital, okay?
Grandma Gu glanced at uncle Gu. Oh my, this annoying fellow!
Grandpa Gu, on the other hand, chuckled as he looked at uncle Gu and said, Boss, dont be afraid. Its nothing serious. I just wanted to tell you that your grandmother is still alive.
Uncle Gu,whats the fuss? Father, youre not drunk tonight, right? Youre already past fifty, but the old lady is still around. Wouldnt she be seventy?
Im actually a year older than your mother, replied Grandpa Gu with a smile. It was just that in order to hide his ident.i.ty, he had deliberately reported that he was younger than his actual age. When your grandmother gave birth to me, it was the 17th year of the Lunar New Year. Im 70 this year.
Uncle Gu: no wonder mother always calls you big brother Chuan. Even I want to say that shes here to take a walk. Hehe, father, youre not lying, right?
Under the intimidating gaze of grandma Gu, uncle Gu decided not to say those unreliable words. He was going to say that he wanted to say that mother should call him little brother Chuan. He had always wanted to remind her.
Im not lying, Grandpa Gu nodded. Originally, I didnt plan to say it for the rest of my life. As a matter of fact, the second son was the top scorer, so he was bound to have dealings with the ye family. Ill tell you so that you can have an idea.
Uncle Gu was interested,father, do you have any siblings? Do I have cousins? What do our grandparents do?
Your grandparents run a Yamen, said Grandpa Gu with a smile. You have one cousin, but you have a lot of other close relatives.
Uncle Gu,?
He dug his ears. What did his father say?
His grandparents ran a Yamen?
He turned to look at Gu shouxin and said,second brother, do you understand? I dont quite understand what our Father is saying.
There are many people with the surname ye in the world, but only one can open a Yamen, Gu shouxin said calmly.
Which one? uncle Gu asked.
The Royal ye family!
Uncle Gu was so scared that he almost lost his grip on the armrest. He looked at Gu shouxin in horror, and then at his parents.I I didnt study much, but you cant lie to me like this!
Grandpa Gu smiled helplessly and said,boss, its indeed the Imperial ye family. Your grandmother is the Empress Dowager. Ill only tell you and your brother about this. After all, itll be troublesome if my ident.i.ty is exposed, but you have to be prepared. Your grandma is definitely on your side, but I cant say for sure for the others. At the moment, no one should know of my existence, so dont think that youre so great just because of this ident.i.ty. When youre outside, dont cause trouble, but dont be afraid of trouble. As for your wife and children, lets not talk about them for now. Well talk about them when the conditions are ripe.
Grandpa Gu said some more words, but uncle Gu didnt listen to them. He was supported by Gu shouxin when he went out.
When they left the main room where the two elders were staying, uncle Gu grabbed Gu shouxin. Second brother, hurry up and pinch me. Let me see if Im dreaming.
Gu shouxin stretched out his hand and pinched his brother Hans face.
Uncle Gu: Aiyo, Alright, alright. I got it. Im not dreaming. Im not dreaming!
Gu shouxin let go of his hand and looked at his brother with a smile.
Uncle Gu rubbed his face and sighed, No wonder Im so handsome and have such an extraordinary temperament. Ive been liked by girls since I was young. I finally understand the reason.
